Nut Butter Blondies

COOK TIME: 16-20 minutes
If you are looking for a treat to make for Mother’s Day, look no further. These blondies are sure to make someone’s day. So easy, ready within 1 hour and it is gluten-free, dairy-free and grain-free, it ticks so many boxes.
Any nut butter can be used in this recipe. I used Melrose Macadamia and Cashew Butter. However, they have many varieties in their nut butter range that would be very appropriate for this recipe. My personal favourite is Almond Chai, it really gives a little spice to my Blondie, or if a Brownie is more your thing, the Chocolate hazelnut spread would be a fine choice.
This Blondie is perfect paired with a cup of tea and some good company, or if that’s not possible in the current landscape, a good book or an episode of your present Netflix binge would be suffice. Enjoy!
